Fire alarm....
I just can't believe it!!!!
I live on the 14th floor of a highrise. There are 7 apts on each floor x 18 floors...that's how many people live here.
So an hour ago the fire alarm goes off. I get dressed, and put Max and Specks in their carriers and walk down 14 flights of steps. Didn't run in to anyone. In the lobby there were only about 20 people, only a handful with their pets. I happen to know that at least half of the apts here have either a cat or a dog.
One person that I knew came up to me with her dog and said "I don't want to get too close to scare the kitties." Then she said "I have no idea where my cat is!"
Excuse me??????? How hard is it to lose a cat in a 1,000 sq ft. apt??? This could have been a real fire!!!! Didn't she care???? Honestly, there were other residents that showed up WITHOUT their pets!!!!
In the case of a possible fire, I would NEVER leave my apt without all my pets in hand.
AAARRRRGGGGG!!!!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
